ZFS 101 (aka ZFS is Cool and Why You Should be Using It)

This presentation introduces some of the cool features provided by the ZFS filesystem. These features include built-in software RAID, the ability to self-heal data corruption, copy-on-write, low-overhead snapshots, support for multiple boot environments, and more. It then demonstrates how these features are incorporated into the graphical user interfaces of FreeNAS (an open source storage system) and PC-BSD (an open source desktop/server).
